Judge Considers Lifting Drilling Ban

How about, as a matter of national policy, we do whatever the opposite is of what this guy recommends? Steve Newman, the president of Transocean Ltd., which operated the exploded Deepwater Horizon oil rig, has slammed the Obama administration’s six-month moratorium on deep-water exploratory offshore drilling, saying there are things that Obama "could implement today that would allow the industry to go back to work tomorrow without an arbitrary six-month time limit." Newman’s wish may come true on Wednesday, which is when a federal judge has said he’ll decide whether to grant an injunction lifting Obama’s moratorium.
